Report: John Wall commits to Kentucky

John Wall, the nation’s top high school player, has committed to Kentucky according to media reports.
Slam magazine reported on its website this morning that Wall, who was also seriously considering attending Miami, had decided to play for the Wildcats.
Brian Clifton, Wall’s adviser, confirmed Wall’s decision to Rivals.com.
“We had an at-length conversation last night,” said Clifton, Wall’s travel team coach. “He felt that the risks that were at Kentucky were acceptable risks for him.”
Wall, a 6-foot-4 point guard from Raleigh (N C.) Word of God Christian Academy, appeared to be headed to Memphis before coach John Calipari left the school to take over Kentucky’s program. Wall decided to follow Calipari to Kentucky even though the Wildcats have several top point guards on the roster, including five-star recruit Eric Bledsoe.
Even without Wall, the Hurricanes’ recruiting class is expected to be one of the best in school history. The four-man class, headed by five-star prospect Durand Scott, is ranked No. 19 by Scout.com.
“I love our recruiting class,” UM coach Frank Haith said recently before Wall’s decision. “We’re in good shape whether we sign another player or not.”
